Le Tour De France, On Console.. Seriously

Ever wanted to ride bicycle on console? Have you ever felt the need to do this? Well, if yes — now you can. With Tour de France for Xbox 360 and PS3 your adrenalin will pump as you pedal around France.

I can personally say, I’ve never felt the need to ride bicycle on console. Hell, I’ve cringed at the thought of a motorbike on console, never mind something which requires manual labour.

However, despite my thoughts, the Cyanide Studio thought that it would be a good idea to create this game. It’s a game where you’ll race the track with all of its twists and turns, and uphills and downhills. It’ll be as if you’re really doing it.

According to the press release, you’ll need to “manage your efforts during the stages to stay at the top of your form, work with your teammates, keep an eye on your reputation, and when necessary, build alliances with your opponents to win a stage and climb the leaderboard. Your actions and your loyalty will influence your reputation throughout the event – deploy decisive strategies and alliances during all 21 days of this epic race.”
